7:01 am
funded by cbs and welcome to "the early show" here on a wednesday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm chris wragge. >> and i'm erica hill. good to have you with us this morning. we begin with the escalating violence in libya. support for dictator moammar gadhafi seems to be crumbling. but apparently he has not gotten the message. he remains defiant, promising to fight until the last drop of blood. cbs news correspondent allen pizzey joins us from bahrain this morning with more. as you are monitoring things of course, also across the region this morning, allen. >> good morning, erica. well the sign of just how much control the libyan regime has lost, reports from benghazi where the revolt began, the local residents are handing in looted weapons to organizing committees but the fighting is still far from over. gun battles went on through the
7:02 am
night in tripoli and there were reports of loyal army units and mercenaries hunting down protesters. the protests appear unorganized, but the determination fierce. reports of up to 1,000 revolts are being described as credible. the crowd showed up in the city's central green square to chant loyalty to colonel moammar gadhafi but it is impossible to judge how much is genuine support and how much is fear. the vr in a rambling speech on tv, the libyan leader raged against what he calls cockroaches, said the protesters had been brainwashed. he described himself as history resistant liberty revolution and urged supporters to hunt down and kill protesters and opponents of the regime. but his control, such as it is, appears limited to the capital and the wst of the country. the eastern half appears very much in the hands of the anti-government forces including soldiers who have switched sides. tens of thousands of people are trying to flee the chaos. >> guns, we want.
7:03 am
no security. we can't stay here. >> reporter: an evacuation of foreigners is also under way. the u.s. embassy has organized a ferry to take americans from tripoli to the island of malta. it will leave in a few hours' time. residents who take that ferry will have to pay the price of it, but no one's likely to argue about that. erica? >> likely not. allen pizzey this morning. thanks. joining us from washington now, cbs news national security analyst juan zarate. juan, good to have you with us. we heard some of that information there from allen. of course we've heard what gadhafi said last night overnight. but when you look at the support, the interior minister resigning just after that speech. a number of military, as well. how much control does gadhafi actually have? and what will it take for him to resign? >> good morning, erica. gadhafi clearly remains defiant, though he's starting to lose support. as you mentioned, not only from his minister of interior but
7:04 am
from senior military leadership in the east. we saw the example of the two air force pilots flying to malta, defecting. this man has survived for four decades in ruling and has learned to play actors within the libyan contact off each other. he has tribal alliances, military loyalists. so it's still not clear. and what we saw last night, he clearly is defiant, and has pledged more violence here. and so i don't think this is going to end quietly. i think we're going to see more blood on the streets of libya. >> let's take a look at the military in this case. we saw in egypt the military was welcomed by protesters. that is obviously not -- or it's a different case, i should say, because of the way the military is structured in libya. where do they fall at this point? >> well everything in libya's personalized to moammar gadhafi. he has weakened the military as an institution. or at least controlled it in ways that have allowed it not to serve as a challenge to power. and so in some ways it's a fractured organization. one that has regional and tribal loyalties. you've seen defections in the
7:05 am
east where the protesters have gained power. but you've also seen for example, loyalists in tripoli defending the regime. and so the military in some ways is not going to be the bulwark that we saw in egypt. >> and if we go back to gadhafi for just a moment as you mentioned, the eastern -- or we heard from allen, too, the eastern half of the country in control of the anti-government forces. gadhafi in some ways almost seems to be instead of the leader of the country, sort of the mayor of tripoli at this point. >> well, you raise a good point, erica. i think what you're seeing is a division within libya that starts to look more like a civil war, the east versus the center of the country. i think what gadhafi is going to try to do is consolidate his power in tripoli, ensure that his loyal forces as well as mercenaries which he may be employing from africa are able to crack down on protesters. right now it's a fight to the death, in some ways. and i think the protesters realize that if they lose this battle gadhafi very well may go house to house hunting them down. >> as he promised in that speech
7:06 am
yesterday. when, and if do we see more than international involvement? >> well, this is tricky. it's tricky for the administration, and the u.n. you saw the u.n. meeting on these issues. but i don't think you're likely to see military intervention or physical force used from the outside. i think what you're going to see are more statements, more meetings, but i think people are going to have to watch as this plays out. as the administration has said this is an issue between the libyan people and their rulers. and unfortunately i think we're going to see blood on the streets of tripoli. >> juan, thanks for your insight this morning. >> thanks, erica. that chaos is libya is also causing some jitters over here on wall street. the dow dropped more than 178 points yesterday. that is its worst decline since november. while oil prices skyrocketed 6% up to $95 a barrel. the highest in two years. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with a closer look at what this means for our wallets. so, we saw the unrest across the region. oil now approaching $100 a barrel. but libya is i believe, the
7:07 am
18th largest producer of oil? why then will we see such a spike? >> it may sound like libya isn't that big or that controlling in the oil picture, but the reality is that libya sits atop the world's -- or africa's largest oil reserve. so when you think about future oil, it's a big deal. it's also a big deal because it's a member of opec which controls 30% of the world's oil production. and in addition to that libya falls in a neighborhood that's particularly important to oil supplies. saudi arabia, which is one of the world's largest producers of oil is right in the neighborhood, and the biggest the instability gets the more traders on wall street fear it could expand and saudi arabia could get pulled into the fray. that would be very dramatic for oil prices. >> so that's why we're now just starting to see, there's been so much unrest over the last three weeks in the region. but is that why now we're starting to see the impact on wall street, and on the dow? >> yeah. that's a very significant point, erica. the other issue right now is that as oil prices continue to climb, when we get closer to hat $4 a gallon level, all of a
7:08 am
sudden there are implications for the economy. and the economic recovery. and wall street is concerned that at this fragile point in our recovery if prices continue to climb it's going to be more expensive for companies to do business, and it's going to be more expensive for you and me on multiple levels not just at the pump. >> shipping goods, all of those things that involve gas. when will we start to see the impact on the price of gas? >> you're already seeing the impact on the price of gas. but to put it into historical perspective right now prices are well below 36% the low of all-time highs at the pump. we saw $4.11 at the pump in the summer of 2008. we're still a ways away from that, but back then oil tradingwise was $140 a barrel. we're still $100 a barrel. that's pretty close. >> rebecca jarvis thanks. >> thanks. >> chris? >> erica, thank you. now to the devastating earthquake in new zealand. at least 75 people have been killed. but that number is expected to go up. officials say 300 people are still missing. and there are fears the continuing aftershocks could
7:09 am
topple more buildings. new zealand's tv-3 has the very latest now from christchurch. >> reporter: tuesday's massive earthquake that hit the historic town of christchurch is being described as new zealand's most devastating natural disaster in 18 years with at least 75 people confirmed dead. >> i saw on the tele and i heard that my friends, they didn't come out. >> reporter: amidst the sorrow there has been good news. rescue workers using drums, saws and their bare hands, braved aftershocks and treacherous conditions to pull at least a dozen people from beneath the rubble that was this building. today at least 120 survivors have been fulled from the wreckage. wednesday, one woman was found after having been buried under the debris for 24 hours. her husband was understandably overcome with joy. >> i'm very happy. my legs are shaking.
7:10 am
my heart's involved in a 10-k run. i couldn't be happier right now. >> reporter: local officials estimate as many as 300 people are still missing. and this has left relatives clinging to hope. >> got two wonderful kids, and i think we just want her home here. >> reporter: the christchurch airport reopened wednesday, allowing 800 tourists to be flown to other cities around new zealand. a team of 70 search and foreign rescue experts, mostly from the los angeles county fire department arrived in new zealand. in christchurch, for cbs news. >> joining us now on the phone from christchurch are dwayne goodall and his fiancee joelle hayward. he was trapped for ten hours when his office building collapsed and miraculously walked away with only minor cuts and bruises. good morning to the both of you. >> good morning. >> dwayne, you're at work. the ground starts to shake. tell me, what happens next? what's going through your mind?
7:11 am
>> the ground starts shaking. i thought it was just i'm talking to a colleague at the moment. i look up just to make sure the lights aren't going to fall down. i sort of turn around hear glass smashing and just turn around again and i saw the whole roof come tumbling down. the next minute i just sort of wake up laying in complete darkness, covered in roof tiles and what have you. i just sort of couldn't easily move. get up and wander out. as i try i realize i'm just covering in huge layers of concrete, as well. >> were you able to communicate with anyone at that point? i know you had lost consciousness briefly. when you regained consciousness. you said you're there in the dark. could you communicate with anyone? how long were you there? >> i think like a couple minutes. and i sort of felt my way around
7:12 am
to make sure i could get my body past, and walked around what was around me, what was possibly going to fall on me. i started shouting out for help and could hear another couple people, and so communicate that way. >> joelle how scared were you, after the earthquake, you tried to reach your fiance you couldn't get through to him. how tough a day was it for you? >> oh, it was horrible. it was absolutely horrible. i had no idea where he was. i didn't know whether he was out for lunch. i didn't know that he was in the building. i didn't know the building was down at this stage. we had no power. no anything so i had no way of knowing anything. i hadn't heard from him, and so i obviously started to worry. and it was just the longest afternoon of my entire life. >> let's fast forward a little bit. you're at the rescue site. you know it's been ten hours, but you know that he is alive. when he finally emerges, i know the rescuers were able to get
7:13 am
him away from the pocket that he was kind of trapped in and he's on the roof and you're able to see him for the first time. what goes through your mind? >> oh, my god. just pure and utter relief. tears. i just couldn't believe it. when you saw the building you just looked and thought, there's no way anybody could possibly come out of that alive. you know it was just absolutely smashed. and to see him coming down this crane, and he could see people waving, he didn't know who it was but he just waved back and he looked fit as a fiddle apart from being white with blood and stuff. but just the most amazing thing. i just ran and tackled him as soon as i could. it was so amazing. >> well we thank you both for taking the time sharing your story. we know you're engaged to be married, so we wish you both the very, very best of luck. dwayne happy to hear you're okay. joelle, thank you very much for telling us your story this morning. best of luck, guys. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> one of the good news stories there. we just kind of pray that we hear more of these over the next couple of days because so many
7:14 am
people are still unaccounted for there. >> oh, but it is so good to have that good news. can't imagine that moment when it's looked down from the rooftop. jeff glor is standing by at the news desk with a check of some of the day's other headlines on this wednesday. good morning. >> hey erica, good morning to you. good morning, everyone. rahm emanuel is the new mayor-elect of chicago. emanuel, president obama's former chief of staff, was the easy winner in yesterday's election there. taking 55% of the vote in a six-candidate race. he avoids a runoff. emanuel called his election humbling. >> it's a victory for all those who believe that we can overcome the old divisions and the old ways that have held chicago back. >> emanuel replaces richard daley. daley and his father led chicago for 43 of the last 65 years. in athens greece this morning riot police are battling thousands of protesters. the police fired tear gas as demonstrators marched to parliament building as part of a general strike. you can see what's happening there.

7:33 am
foreus this morning. david, good morning. >> good morning, chris. this operation involved four warships reconnaissance aircraft and navy s.e.a.l.s, but in the end, it was not enough to save the lives of those four americans. a navy destroyer was just 600 yards behind the yacht. negotiating with the 19 pirates who were trying to take their prize to somalia, where they could hold their hostages jean and scott adam and phyllis macay and bob riggle for ransom. >> we understood that if they got to shore it was going to be a really bad situation. we also understood that the navy was doing their best to prevent them from getting to shore. >> reporter: negotiations were still going on when suddenly the pirates fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the destroyer. and gunfire broke out in the cockpit of the yacht. navy s.e.a.l.s scrambled into small boats and boarded the yacht without firing a shot. two pirates were already dead. most of the rest came out on deck with their hands up. the s.e.a.l.s searched below decks and found two more killing both of them. one with a knife.

7:35 am
sent us e-mails, talking about the people they met. and the beautiful creation that they saw. >> robert, you got some e-mails, as recently as last week there the couple. and one of the e-mails said please pray. did that at any point get you a little concerned as to their safety in the waters that they were sailing in? >> not that e-mail. they were experienced sailors and they were well aware of the dangers. they had joined a flotilla coming from bangkok to sri lanka. they took precautions, even though they were adventurers. so we prayed for them because we knew this was the key piece of territory where they were moving from mumbai through the red sea. and so we did pray for them. but there was no reason to think this was a particularly crucial moment when they wrote that e-mail. >> catherine, what was your reaction when you had heard that
7:36 am
your good friends had been captured by somali pirates? >> obviously concern. but i guess i just didn't imagine that it would end this way. i just assumed that they might be held captive, but not killed. i just didn't imagine that. but we were praying for them. you know. >> robert could you ever imagine something like this could happen to your good friends, like you said experienced sailors, they knew the way of the world in that area? did this catch you off guard? >> oh, absolutely. and it's still shocking. our love and prayers go out to the family. it's just beyond imagination. but, those things happen, as you know. >> now that you've had a chance to i guess grieve for the past 24 hours or so how do you remember this couple?
7:37 am
>> oh, scott and jean were a wonderful gift to each other. they met later in life and scott had a wicked sense of humor. and jean as i said was just a lover of people. so, when they got together it was -- it was just fun to be with them. they were at our house for parties, and we were at their house a few times, and we worked together at the schools where we both teach. and they were just -- they were a delight to be with. and scott was always challenging you to think deeper about things. so i really appreciated both of them. loved them a lot. >> scott was my student at fuller seminary. he came with 30 years of background in film and was just passionate about film. he came because he was also passionate about his faith, and so he wanted to integrate those two things together. he was curious, loved to ask
7:38 am
questions, loved to state his opinion. they were both extroverts. fun to be around. curious about life. and wanted all the adventure, and joy that they could. we'll miss them. >> like you said, they did love to sail. they loved their religion and they were one of the rare couples that were able to combine the two, huh? >> yes. >> yeah. >> and they met together and they sold their houses and they got a boat that was built by the new zealand shipmaker who won the america's cup. i mean they went through it. you know they -- they grabbed it. and had six, seven years of sailing that was wonderful. >> well we thank you for taking the time and sharing their story a little bit more about what kind of people they were. and we are obviously sorry for your loss. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. robert johnston and catherine barsotti. coming up next here on "the early show," your brains on cellphones. a brand-new study gives doctors

in this morning's "healthwatch," cell phones and your brain. 217 million americans now have a cell phone. that's about 71% of the population. now, a new study shows changes in the brain in cell phone users is fuelling concerns about the effect of those phones on our health. medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here to break this down for us. put it in perspective. so there's a new study that's come out that actually looked at the activity in your brain when using a cell phone. what did it find? >> correct. it's done out of the nih, very well constructed study, very reputable journal looking at cell phone use and the effects on brain activity. what they did was ask people to hold a cell phone up to the right and left sides of their head in the on and off positions respectively, and then using a p.e.t. scan to measure brain activity, known as glucose metabolism, they found that when the phone was in the on position they actually found
7:43 am
increase in activity, shown on the p.e.t. scan in red. >> what's the significance of that increase in activity? >> well, that's the question. and they don't know the answer, erica. they don't know whether these are potentially harmful effects, or, believe it or not, whether they could actually be positive or good effects. and the key thing here is that when you look at the effects of a cell phone you have to understand that it does produce low level energy known as electromagnetic radiation. nonionizing radiation. not thought to cause any damage in terms of heating but this study raised questions of does it do something else? can it lead to free radical damages? can it lead to inflammation? and that's what they're going to be looking at. >> and there's long been some debate and some concern over the potential impact of a cell phone on your health. >> exactly. and multiple studies have been done conflicting results. most have not shown an increase in the rates of brain tumors or brain cancer. some have. i very the key thing to remember here is that when you look at something that's been used by so many people, as you said over the last 15 or so years, the
7:44 am
rate of cell phone use has skyrocketed. the rate of brain tumors or brain cancer has largely remain unchanged. telling people there's probably not a direct effect. >> so that's an important thing to focus on. still, though, as we're waiting for more conclusive answers. >> right. >> what can we do to minimize any potential health risk if? >> very commonsense things erica. first of all with children. because many children now have access to a cell phone you really want to limit the use. the brains of children tend to be thinner, the skull tends to be thinner and their brains tend to be more susceptible to any effects during that period. obviously things like hands-free use while it doesn't drop the energy transition risk to zero it will lower it. and obviously most states have a mandate law that prevents you from driving with a cell phone held to your head. so you should be using those things anyway. and lastly you don't want to sleep with a cell phone under your pillow or directly next to your bed. very commonsense things. >> and it doesn't matter this applies to all cell phones, not just smartphones or a clam shell
7:45 am
phone. 71% of the population there are a lot of different phones people use. >> that's correct. it did have an increase in brain activity, about 7%. that is well below the increase in the brain activity that we see every day with things just like visual stimulation. so an area of ongoing research. we have not heard the end of this. >> okay. >> don't always be holding it up to your head. >> that's right. >> or use speaker phone, too. >> don't text and walk at the same time. that's another risk. >> one i know too much about personally. jen, thanks. >> you bet. >> stay with us. we'll be right back with more. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by dove visible care. visibly more beautiful skin from a body wash. imagine what it can do to your skin. but dove isn't soap. it contains pure 1/4 moisturizing cream because, everyday moisture is the key to beautiful skin. and who knows moisture better than dove. the uconnect touch system on the 2011 dodge journey

8:11 am
competition right before his first match. northrup was pitted against 14-year-old cassen today herkleman. one of two girls to ever qualify for the state finals in its 85-year history. >> more people will start to wrestle, just like knowing you can do it if you put your mind to it. >> reporter: but northrup refused to compete against his female opponent and forfeited the match, citing personal and religious reasons. making cassandra the first female to win a match in a state tournament. >> he stuck to his convictions on probably the biggest stage in wrestling in the nation i would argue, let alone in iowa. >> reporter: it's those convictions and principles that joel northrup's parents say they have been teaching their son since he was a young boy. and despite the frenzy he's created and endured over the past week, they are proud of his decision. and joining us from cedar rapids, iowa is joel northrup. joel, good morning to you. tell us in your words, why did you decide to forfeit this match? >> well i mean wrestling is a combat sport.
8:12 am
and it gets violent at times. and you get put in compromising holds and positions, and i just don't feel it's right that a boy should engage a girl in a manner like this. >> you have worked really hard for this. so has cassy. you're both very passionate about your sport. she clearly understands to get to the level that both of you are at what this sport entails. that there are a lot of rough moments. and she knowing too that you weren't going after her as a girl, but as an opponent. being that she's okay with this, why can't you then in fact, step in the ring with her? >> well like i just said i mean, it -- you get put in holds that are compromising. and, i mean she deserves to be out there. but i do believe that if she does wrestle, she should wrestle other girls. and i should wrestle other boys. >> she doesn't always have the opportunity, of course, to
8:13 am
wrestle only girls. do you feel that you were cheating her out of an opportunity at all, to give her a win in this way, with a forfeit? >> well, it's kind of a tough situation. i don't believe so. i mean i just had to stick to my convictions. and, it's hard for her. but, i had to just hold on to what i decided that i wouldn't wrestle a girl. >> that's not an easy thing for anyone to do at any age. you've had a lot of backlash since you made this decision as well. people have called you chauvinistic, called you sexist. you've also had people who said you were chivalrous, that you were a gentleman. how are you dealing with all of those labels and names being thrown at you? >> i mean it's fine. i really don't care what people say. but, there's been people that are for me and people that are
8:14 am
totally against me. >> do you feel that any of those -- >> i know what i did was right. >> do you feel that any of those labels fit you? >> i don't -- i mean it's people at the end. but i just had to hold true to my convictions. >> have you spoken to cassy much since this happened? >> no, not really. i've spoken to her dad a little bit. he's come up to me and talked to me. he's a real nice guy. >> what did he say? >> i haven't spoken to her much. he said he totally agrees with it. and he knows i have as my convictions, and he totally -- totally accepts it. >> well joel we wish you the best of luck as you continue with your wrestling career in the next few years. thanks for taking some time for us this morning. >> okay. thank you very much. now here's chris. >> erica, thank you. coming up next here does your resume make you look old? a little out of touch?

welcome back. nearly 14 million americans are jobless. and if you're a middle-age worker and haven't updated your resume prospective employers may think that your professional time, well has passed you by. amanda gengler is writer for "money" magazine and she's here with tips on how to reinvent your resume. >> great to be here. >> why is it so important people do updates? >> doesn't matter your age, your resume is the first thing a potential employer sees. we all know that first impressions are everything. but that's particularly important for older workers. because when they lose their jobs, it often takes them a lot longer to find a new job today. and they need to know the best practices for resume writing have significantly changed over the past couple of decades. if they haven't kept up with
8:18 am
those changes, then there's a good chance, exactly as you said that their resume is signaling that they're past their prime. >> closing the door before it's even allowed to be open. we've got a couple of examples here. we're going to use a fake resume, a guy named brad weber 57 years old. the way it is now, the way it shouldn't be and we're going to show you a quick fix. with this one we see all these phone numbers. that's a telltale sign. >> we have multiple phone numbers, a fax number. what hiring manager is going to contact you by fax today? none. that's the problem. and the fix here that brad should do is just simplify his contact information. one phone number on the top left, one e-mail address on the top right. you don't even need to label them, cell and e-mail and a potential employer will know that's how he can reach you. >> much cleaner and yes, people pretty much know that is your e-mail address. >> exactly. >> you don't have to bring attention to it. let's talk about buzz words because there are key buzz words that also say this resume is not up to date. >> exactly.
8:19 am
brad has included an objective and write there, on jettives are old school. he is telling the company what he is looking for. well, you're a dime a dozen today in the marketplace. the company doesn't really care what your ideal job is. and then as you said he's using this overused buzz words like innovative, results oriented, proven track record. >> yeah. >> those words are so common today that a hiring manager's eyes are just going to glaze right over them. >> so let's update it. and what should it look like. >> we're going to start with a sell yourself summary instead. where he's telling the company what he can do for them instead of what they can do for him. and then over on the right we're highlighting his areas of expertise expertise. we're using words like mergers and acquisitions that are specifically listed in the job description. because so many companies today use scanning software, where it's exact words that they're looking for aren't in your
8:20 am
resume, then your resume is going to end in the trash can. so you really want to make sure your words match what the company job description says. >> okay. now there's a more hipper more updated way of detailing your job description than in the days of old? >> immediately, by listing the dates on the left it's outdated. it makes you look older. >> but it looks -- to me would look easy to read. >> i'll show you how much better it looks in a second. and then also brad so over here, brad moved those dates to the right. it just gives it a more modern look. and then we're also including the sentence that says what exactly brad's previous employer did. so, you might think it's obvious what your company did, but a young hiring manager may not have the scope of industry knowledge to know that. so we're including the sentence what does acme consumer products do. it has 515 consumer products, in 50-plus markets. >> let's say you've been out working for big business or a big corporation for awhile and you've got a quote/unquote
8:21 am
independent contractor for a couple of years. how do you dress that up to make it sound like you've actually been doing something? >> you really want to sell it. you don't want to shy away from it. if you make your job description very vague the employer is going to think that you are unemployed. so write specific projects that you are working on. if you have permission from your clients, use their names. >> okay. telltale sign of exactly how old you are is when you list your education and you puts those dates of graduation on there. >> exactly. so for education, and skills brad was making a couple mistakes. as you said, he's listing his graduation year, which automatically makes it very easy for a hiring manager to figure out his age. in fact, if it's a young hiring manager those numbers might jump right off the page because he may not have even been born the year that you graduated from college. and brad is also showcasing some very run of the mill skills. word excel, power point. if you're in the workforce today, there's a good chance that you're familiar with those programs. >> could be seen as being a little deceptive if you do put your education down and you don't have a date next to it?
8:22 am
>> the fix that we would recommend is not including that year of graduation. look, you're not fooling the employer. they're going to figure it out when they confirm your degree. you're just not over-emphasizing it. you're focusing on your experience and skills instead. >> okay. and the one thing that kind of bothers me when i see resumes even to this day are interests. if you like football or you like baseball, does that fit on a resume these days? >> well you can make it work for you. brad has listed bridge club and football. and the problem with those is that they don't necessarily how energetic he is how motivated he is or how much he likes to give back. so, on brad's resume our fix is we've left those interests off. however, if you want to include something like running, cycling, or some type of community service, charitable work that you do absolutely include that because companies like employers who will give back. and it also shows that as an older worker you might be willing to be a mentor in your
8:23 am
office, which is another plus. >> amanda thank you. good to see you this morning. >> thanks. >> still ahead, why do brad pitt and angelina jolie get along so

get the network that delivers more. get fios. a network ahead. welcome back to "the early show." half past the hour. just ahead, i think we've all probably noticed you see these couples that just seem to have this great relationship and you wonder, what's their secret? you know why are they such a good match? forget the stars. forget the signs. turns out, it could have a lot
8:31 am
to do with their birth order. >> oh. >> uh-huh. >> so like first born marrying marrying -- >> marrying the middle child. >> fourth born or -- >> or first born marrying another first born. could have a big impact on your relationship. >> interesting. >> hmm. >> also coming up you may not want to kiss the cook after he creates these dishes. but your taste buds will definitely say thank you. >> oh, we'll kiss him anyway. >> chef marcus samuelsson is here to show us how to make roasted garlic and use it in various recipes. in case you were wondering, garlic it a close cousin of onions, leeks and chives. and apparently we looked it up apparently someone has some time on their hands. >> it's apparently very good for your skin, as well. >> that's a great fact. >> use that at your next cocktail party. or the oscar party that you're hosting. >> yes that i'm throwing for everyone. you have to get your invites. >> and i'll try to get a good weather forecast for you. let's take a final look at today's weather. your national picture. you can see that the northeast
8:32 am
is chilly but still very funny.
8:33 am
it's clear and 25 overnight. calling it about 61 on friday. we'll have pretty good rain. moisture out of here by the time it thanks so much. that's your latest weather. now over to erica. >> mary thanks. question for you what do barack and mychal obama and brad pitt and angelina jolie have in common? they're both believed to be compatible matches based on their birth order. psychologist and "early" show contributor dr. jennifer hartstein is here to explain. seems there's always something that can give us a clue into a relationship. what is it about the order in which you're born that gives us some sort of an inkling as to who you might fit well with? >> well, it's one these of this larger puzzle of all the things
8:34 am
that make us who we are. gender, birth order, temperament, environmental factors, all of that give us indications of who we are, what our personality traits are, who we might want to be with when we're dating. >> is there any scientific aspect of this? >> there is. it's been researched since the 1920s and they really have found that over time the things that they have found stay the same and are proven to be honest and true representations of people. >> okay. so as we're telling people about this later in the day, we can say there's research. >> exactly. >> let's take a look at the different types of people based on birth order and see how they all fit together. first up is the first born. >> yes. >> crave attention. >> they crave attention. they're really motivated. and they're responsible. and we have two first-borns in the anchor staff right? so chris and jeff both said that they were motivated. they both kind of glommed onto that. and, in fact marysol said she was also motivated and she's the youngest, but by a lot of years, which essentially makes her almost an only child. >> so they all fit into that
8:35 am
order. the middle child, which is what i identified most with i told you i felt like i was easygoing. >> yes. diplomatic, realistic. and the fact is we all fit a little bit of each of them but much of it is different. the thing that we have to think about older children is they're prone to anxiety. middle children can be unfocused and indecisive. there is a downside to some of these. >> i do have trouble ordering at restaurants. although, i identify more with the middle child. tell us about a last born. >> these outgoing rebellious creative types. but the downside on them too, is that they can be very dependent. they're used to their olding siblings kind of taking the fall for them fighting for them taking care of things they're the baby ones. they have a hard time sometimes making things happen. >> an older child is not dependent. >> not dependent. incredibly successful self-reliant. similar to an older but there's a little bit more of that independence that's there. the problem there is they can be very perfectionistic. >> so as we see some of these traits it starts to give you an idea for who may or may not fit well together. >> right.
8:36 am
>> so let's look first at what tend to be typically successful love matches based on birth order. the first one is first and last borns. >> yes, first and last born. makes sense. first born wants to care take and wants to be in charge. the last born is the dependent one. people like michelle and barack. people like brad and angelina. people like you and your husband, right? >> yes. >> they're matches. they kind of balance each other out. it's an opposites attract. >> so that one works. also pretty successful an only child and the last born. >> exactly. for similar reasons. the only child is very independent and used to kind of running the show. and the last is willing to let someone run the show. so it does kind of go together again. >> which never hurts. and then the first born with a middle children. this is somewhat like a ben affleck and jennifer garner. >> exactly. the first born again the driver behind the seat. the middle is the diplomatic willing to kind of weigh both sides of the fence and kind of bring that first born back in line when they need to be too controlling and back in charge. >> it's a this yin and yank that you're setting up.
8:37 am
>> yes. >> now the ones we don't want to say they're a mismatch. but couplings that may not always work. >> may be more problematic. >> more challenging, you might say. >> exactly. >> the first one being two first born children. and this makes a lot of sense. >> right. two people who want to be in control and be kind of the runner of the show they may not always blend so well. the thing that they have to do is really look at what the strengths are in the other person that they may not have use those, find other times away from each other to explore. >> there are couples who clearly make this work. the clintons are a great example. >> exactly. >> very driven people. it's working. >> have to give a shout out for my parents. they've been married 46 years. both first borns. >> two last borns. >> two last borns really can be -- who's taking care of things? you know the independent person running the show. they're too dependent on one another. >> the most important thing in any relationship especially if you find you're in one that may be more of a challenge, how do you work on those issues? >> you have to figure the strengths and weaknesses of each other. build on the strengths. use the other person's strengths
8:38 am
and go from there. >> we each have to be a little flexible right? >> that's right. >> it is so tough. jen, thanks. >> erica, thank you. most people have had it with the brutal winter this season. but for some, winter is when the fun begins. especially in minnesota since it marks the start of ice fishing season. "early" show special contributor tyler mcgill recently went to see what it's all about. now he's here with his own fish story. >> good morning. i was actually born in minnesota. although i only lived there for about three months so i don't know that much about minnesota life. so i figured, what better way to get back to my roots than go to the largest ice fishing competition in the world in brainerd, minnesota. check it out. when the mercury drops, and the water in the land of 10,000 lakes freezes, folks rejoice. because it's ice fishing time. and what better place for me to experience the allure of this popular pastime than the world's largest tournament on gull lake?
8:39 am
♪ a good day's work every time ♪ >> reporter: we have subzero temperatures here in brainerd minnesota, for the 21st annual ice fishing extravaganza. it's freezing but people here aren't deterred. we're expecting 10,000 people. are you guys here to catch the big ones? >> you bet! >> nice big walleye. >> reporter: more than $150,000 in prizes are on the line. i came to brainerd to win it all. pretty serious. >> welcome. >> reporter: matt castle a veteran ice angler offered to help me get fishing immortality. i'm going to be able to reel up something big with this thing? >> absolutely. >> reporter: how wide is this hole? >> an eight inch hole. >> reporter: the fish i'm pulling up are going to be too big for the hole. >> i hope so. >> reporter: but despite more than 20,000 holes drilled, and 10,000 lines in the water -- >> have we pulled any big fish? >> what do you mean big fish?
8:40 am
>> big fish! >> reporter: catching a fish is more difficult than you'd imagine. on average only 700 are reeled in annually. giving contestants a less than one in ten chance of landing anything, other than hypothermia. >> and defreeze! >> reporter: so for a little help we sought some expert advice from the state's highest office. governor mark dayton. >> we're working hard to catch fish here. >> reporter: any luck so far? >> no luck so far. i repel fish the same way i do some voters. >> reporter: instead, you want me to put one down? >> i do, i'm waiting. >> reporter: the governor initiated me into the state ice fishing fraternity. thank you so much governor for this opportunity. this is the brainerd fishing extravaganza, folks. >> ew! >> yay! >> reporter: yeah. minnesota life! ♪ bring along a fishing pole and leave your dirty dishes ♪
8:41 am
>> reporter: as the day wore on and the fish refused to bite some contestants became more focused on their beverages than their bait. >> i found it unmanned. i figure it's a long day and the drinks are taking over. >> reporter: do you use the box as a holding tray for your rod? >> yeah. >> reporter: wow. but not andrew schultz. >> whoo! >> that's bigger than the biggest one last year. >> reporter: who pulled in a near record breaking 7.18 pound northern pike. >> i still can't believe it. it's crazy. this is awesome. this is our first time here. >> reporter: and drove off the lake with a brand-new ford f-150. unfortunately, i wasn't as lucky. i made a bunch of new friends here in brain erd. what it's all about, i guess. no doubt i'll be back next year ready to take home the big prize. ♪ gone fishing ♪ well, i just wanted to quickly thank the brainerd jaycees and
8:42 am
all the volunteers at the fishing extravaganza. i had an amazing time. i'll definitely be back next year. >> man that was -- i could not believe the magnitude. this was a big-time event. >> 10,000 people. >> and you see the odds one in ten. i mps saying what's the real allure? you get to drive off in a pickup. >> $150,000 in prizes. 10,000 people go out. but i mean if i'm an example, it's not as easy as it looks. >> when governor dayton issued that challenge of throwing back the minnow there you looked like you could have used a little of the ice fishing antifreeze to wash it down. >> that's actually the second one that i ate on the day. the mayor of brainerd when i was at the bait shop actually asked me, you know to initiate into the club as well. and i actually watched him chew his. >> oh. >> so when the governor asked me, i felt a little more comfortable on camera. >> it's crazy. how cold was it? >> negative 15 degrees. and you're just sitting on a big block of ice. there's so many people the ice actually bends down so you're standing in maybe ankle deep
8:43 am
water the whole day, too. >> did this really bring you back to your roots? do you know what it's all about having been born in minnesota? >> i've always had pride in minnesota since kirby puckett and the twins won it back in the day. now that i've really got to experience the finer elements of minnesota culture, even more proud of the state. >> so what's up next for you? >> well actually i've gotten this -- used to this cold weather stuff, so i just got back from alaska where i'm training for the iditarod. you guys got to stay tuned for that. >> we've got to get you to a beach. >> i'm down for that, too. >> all right. tyler mcgill, thanks so much. now here's erica. >> chris, thanks. the key to a really great dish is one special ingredient. and this morning, our focus is on roasted garlic. chef marcus samuelsson is owner of red rooster harlem here in new york city. he's also the author of "new american table." he's here to show us what you can create with this versatile little -- is it a vegetable, the garlic? >> it's in the onion family. >> okay. >> and for us chefs in the wintertime, when we're sort of struggling finding great
